Restorative Yoga TT with Alana-Saturday

I woke up this morning with a renewed sense of clarity, which, sometimes, isn't such a comfortable thing. For a while now, longer than I care to admit, I've had the feeling I need to make a change in an important relationship in my life. Lately it has shifted from 'maybe' to 'probably', and I am terrified. 

Facing this is not fun, especially during a weekend of restorative yoga. Yet, on the otherhand, the practice is the greatest gift in the world. The relationship in question had been a source of security for me; the practice is teaching me another way of feeling supported.  Its not a theory, its not a self help book, its not chocolate ice cream; it is a knowing, a truth, that I feel from within. This level of relaxation is new territory for me. 

Its amazing how grounding three blankets, a couple of bolsters, a great teacher, and cool workshop yogis are for a gal who is hovering mid air in her giant leap of faith.
